It's a better game than most games that came out in that year. I played it and more or less enjoyed it because I liked the first two. But in retrospect it's very underwhelming, and on multiple plays reveals it's flaws. Yes I've played the DLC. And Scholar and all that shit. It's like a 7/10 at most. And yes the soundtrack is mediocre. In fact, there are only a handful of good tracks. Alonne is the only one that stands out.

>>386349517

DS2 has such an uncanny vibe that I can't place my finger on. I don't know how much of it just because it's so blatantly unpolished. Some of the sounds are really PS1 tier and the level design is all over the place, as are the graphics. Some places look really nice while others are so crude with the fullbright lighting and unfinished design. The nonsensical geography also adds to that feeling, though that was just an issue with time. It feels like a romhack of a Dark Souls game

>>386352796
That's false though because DS1 has a lot more weaker bosses than anyones going to admit. Ceaseless Discharge, Bed of Chaos and Priscilla come to mind.

>>386353035

Which Dark Souls game are you talking about? This applies to all three. None of them are perfect, but they're all great games.

>>386349517
Did you mean to write urn?

>>386353041
Yes, DkS 1 has shitty bosses too. The whole series always has at least one boss like that in each game. But the difference is the lows in 2 are lower, and the highs are higher. the only good earlygame boss in 2 is Pursuer.

Seath isn't that good either. Pinwheel could maybe work if it was in another place. Capra is a normal enemy and two dogs. Gargoyles are Maneaters and Iron Golem is Tower Knight. Nito just throws skeletons at you which is exactly the kind of thing people complained about with some DS2 bosses

>>386353594
YOU'RE A THIRD RATE DUELIST WITH A FOURTH RATE DECK

>>386353749
Nito would be more impressive if he threw skeletons at you.

>>386353865
What if the skeletons had cartwheels?

>>386353298
I feel like it's much more pronounced with DS2. DS1 is more consistent, at least they all have the same style of lighting except the crystal forest I think, and similar level of decor. In DS2 they ended up prebaking the lighting in a hurry and then they didn't have time to do it for every place

>>386350770
I'm pretty sure the eternal irishman didn't call DaS2 a bad game.

>>386352597
The soundtrack is alright.

>But a shit souls game
I don't see how you can say this when
>DaS1 is a rushjob that while excellent still has some glaring flaws like the less than stellar final areas and Lost Izalith in particular
>DaS2 is just an overeager attempt to expand on the success of the first game that suffered from development fuckups that led to it being a game with flaws that first have to be tolerated to be enjoyed
>DaS3 is the obligatory capstone with no care or attention to detail that only displays aptitude for the most superficial elements like how the combat feels and how bombastic the bosses are
There's no consistent merit to judge these games and 2/3 take steps backward from the first game while only gaining marginal improvements compared the experience that should come from having directed 2/4 similar games prior.

>>386352796
Not necessarily consistently shit but definitely not one one to impress often. There are some decent bosses in there and some traces of good design even in most of the terrible ones.

>>386353041
>Priscilla is bad
Simple ass boss but it does what it does decently well. Compared to Friede it is an elegant boss.

Changing the aesthetic of the forest is hardly to do with performance. The trees have as many polys either way. Like from a technical standpoint there's nothing in that gif that would have to be changed due to performance, in the end they just decided to go with the dead forest aesthetic. There are plenty of areas that suffered due to limitations but that's not really one of them

Don't get me started on black knight weapons too, one shotting the taurus demon is just bullshit for a weapon you can get in the first 10 minutes of gameplay.

Replaying 2 for the first time in a while.

Early game is almost insufferable, everything's just so fucking *sticky*. Deadzones mean you feel stuck to the ground. Enemy attack hitboxes linger for like half a second and when you get hit you stagger weirdly. Rolls take up half your stamina bar, are slow and clunky, and with low ADP that comes with low level, you'll probably get hit anyway. Meaning your best "strategy" is simply to facetank enemies hoping you can kill them before they kill you, and then heal afterwards with the one billion healing consumables you've picked up.

But by late game when the build finally came together and I hit the DLCs I started having fun again. By endgame you've got enough stamina that rolling isn't a complete waste, you have access to the cool fun weapons, and the DLC level design is some of the best in the series. Coop areas are a fucking blight but we all know that already.

tl:dr it's a little worse than I remember but at least the endgame/DLCs are still really good.

Defend fucking Iron Keep (SotFS version) though. Absolutely infuriating.

>>386355307
Doesn't run 60fps on the consoles though, wasn't that your point?

>>386358982
They handled the English translation for Grandia 2
It's weird how they were a localization company as well during the PS1/2 times.

>>386360298
I love DS2 and Iron Keep (Sotfs version) is cancer, at least until Smelter Demon.

>>386360635
>>386360298
I played Sotfs on PS3, I almost feel like replaying it on PS4 but I keep hearing the enemies are more annoying. PS3 version kept the original positions but it has the DLC stuff, I'm almost lead to believe that is the best version of the game apart from performance

>>386360635
I used to like bumrushing Iron Keep for the ember and some of the items but now I have to save it for last out of the 4 souls because of that fucking gauntlet.

muh honoraburu samurai all mob you at once while 6 more pick you off from across the map and their arrows will curve like 45 degrees in order to track you

>>386350770
>someone has this opinion therefore nobody else can
This is how contrarians are made

>>386360774
For the most part the new enemy placements are much better but there's a bunch of exceptions. Iron Keep got infinitely worse and also now there's another Executioner's Chariot (horse only) just gallivanting around inside Drangleic Castle for no reason.

>>386360298
>Defend Iron Keep
It's not the worst thing in the game by virtue of the fact that Iron Passage exists.

Get a mace or club. You will 2-shot every enemy in the game if you upgrade it. Strike damage weapons are OP as fuck because only like 3 enemies in the game resist it.
